What grinds your gears in MP?

[Steeveeo]

i was in a strat, went to see what enemy base was like and i see 1 of them sitting still so i sniped him. 
the player gets all mad and tells me that i dont know how to fight and im a noob etc...
next thing he gets killed and quits...so far nothing special...
after a minute some other player comes in; who pissed blabla (some german nick) off?!
ehrm...its his daddy! 
that would be me, he was behaving like a asshole...
i get a whole lecture from daddy about how to behave in a game, i should behave better versus new players and finaly after me telling him twice that i just sniped him and it was his kid that was bitching at me.....tells me i am 1 of those psycho kids who terrorises others online.....now that grinded my gear! (although i was laughing about it at the same time  )

Shoulda sniped him too

Or at least tell him to let his son fight his own damn battles, and on a game called BATTLEZONE, how are you going to survive if you can't?

It's Battlezone not Crybehindmyfatherzone.

[bigbadbogie]

Lol!

What's the bet that he actually did exactly that?...

[AHadley]

I suddenly want to meet this player ingame...

[bigbadbogie]

Meat, greet, beat, and eat this player... and then get yelled at for being a cyber-terrorist.

This game is getting handed down to kids all the time. Which is good in one way, we get more players. But alot of them seem to be the ones who join my mpi's, then do the things I listed above. Then I have to be more of a teacher than a commander and I've done it many times. I don't mind sometimes because I remember my first attempt to join a game online. I had been playing the single player missions for about four years, over and over, then I finally got internet and you guessed it, it was dial-up. I think I was getting 14.4k, lol and found out about 1.2. It took all night but I finally got it, installed it and off I went to join a game. I remember the first reaction, somone went AAAAARGH!!!! I lagged out and didn't know what happened, but had a good idea. Sometime later I got dsl and started hosting G66 mpi's and the same thing would happen to me. I remember saying noob stuff, like "I don't like the mdm because it doesn't kill some things" and asking how to group units. I remember someone asked for a pulse and I gave them the pulse-stab and they were not happy about having to wait for me to understand they wanted the sniper rifle. Ah, good times.

N00bs in general are welcome to join, no problem. The really inexperianced players often are less worse as the ones that think they do know the game, but actually do not.
As when I tell them to stay close and I will show them some tricks they usually do, give them some scavs and tell them for now to focus on keeping the extractors up, and they do. Some that do have a basic understanding however often seem to think its a good thing to rush into 2-3 incoming walkers head-on, than start bugging you if you dont have a ship ready for them when they loose the next one, and than dont understand you cant even give them a good ship as they have all scavs you build but they dont deploy them. Or even worse, rush to the AI-base to loose their ship without a fight to than never leave but try to snipe the AIs walkers and atanks for the rest of the game, even get mad if I dont enable the respawn with sniper option ..... its usually "bye bye /ban" at that time

Or really annoying, someone that keeps giving you unwanted advice ... basicly dictating how you should command.

[AHadley]

Makes you want to ask them how long they've been playing... which is no doubt less than you, Red

[Red Spot]

/ban means less typing

[AHadley]

Fair point. Especially useful when there is a titan just in front of you, you don't want to be sitting there with the chat window open

This reminds me of a mod I saw for a different game, actually... it made players invulnerable when they had the chat menu or the escape meny open, though it got spammed a hell of a lot. Even in an fps game, its a bad thing. in rts is just lets you amass resources.

"I don't like the mdm because it doesn't kill some things"
by the way what things does the mdm not kill? i could never figure that out

anyway
I think noobs are fine to have in a game. sometimes they come up with crazy ideas that some commanders wont do because they are risky but they sometimes work. but one thing i dont like is commanders who are way to guarded and wont let you have a single tank out of their masses because it might get blown up. also noobs who have no common sense. its fine to make a stupid mistake, but you gotta learn from it.  i remember playing with some guy who decided he could go toe to toe in a walker with a heavy saber in a front attack. and when you play on drop zone and people decide its just a mini statue i can take it and get ambushers flying around your base and then think they can kill the statue eventually...and consequentially kill your entire base from ambushers.

Vehicles and guntowers are killed by mdm, the rest at most gets a little damage from the explosion effect.

Some things don't detonate an MDM on contact (namely Jammers) and it can get a little difficult when you need that bounce.

VSMIT.
